Good morning. I am the director here in brookings but i want to welcome everybody to the event today. How much money for defense is enough . This event began with a call i got from someone i respect he said to me, simply, how do we decide how much money the u. S. Should spend on defense . I know a bit about the federal budget, but i have to confess, im a lot more comfortable talking about things like Social Security, low Income Home Energy assistance programs, the state and local Tax Deduction and about the Defense Budget. So i called michael hamlin, my colleague here, and i put the question to him. How much of the u. S. Spent on defense. Mike said, funny last, i just finished a 20,000 word answer to that question. So here we are. You could read it on her website, but he promised me he wont try to read them all today. I want to start today with a question i can answer. How much the u. S. Spent on defense. The short answer is, we spend a lot on defense. There are lots of ways to measure
